Too many lawsuits happening with prescription drugs. Layoffs are happening often.

I think Abbott Labs has reached it's current peak and will underperform the S&P over the next 3 years.

Idaho has filed a lawsuit that alleges Abbott Laboratories falsified wholesale drug prices and that the state has overpaid Medicaid reimbursements because of the manipulated drug prices. In the complaint, the Idaho attorney general's office says the prices charged to hospitals and pharmacies for Abbott's prescription drugs were less than what the company reported to the state. About 175,000, an estimated 8-10% of the population, people in Idaho currently receive Medicaid benefits. This is most likely not an isolated incident and, in my experience, the Idaho AG's office has not moved against companies in consumer protection issues haphazardly.

Overpriced and they don't make much money. They pay more of their profits out as divdends than they reinvest in themselves, so growth won't be as big as you might think. 50 p/e is way too high.
